Kenmore 18-Inch Built-In Dishwasher in Black 14439

Date Published: 2/29/08

Apartment dwellers can rejoice thanks to a dishwasher that is small enough to be permanently installed in even the tiniest of kitchens. And even better, the Kenmore 14439 from Sears won't cost you any more than the average dishwasher purchased by those living in suburban sprawl.

Offering typical features such as two full-width racks and an adjustable rinse aid dispenser, this unit supplies all the basics--but in a space just 18 inches wide. Outfitted with mechanical knob and dial controls, the 14439 dishwasher is simple to operate and even alerts you when rinse aid is running low.

The six cycles include settings for drying with or without heat and include a high temperature wash for sanitizing, in addition to the normal and pots/pans loads. The delay start feature is perfect for holding off on dishwashing until the guests have gone home or for washing dishes at times when utility rates are lowest.

An Energy Star compliant model, this dishwasher meets the federal energy saving guidelines. You can expect this unit to consume about 454 kwh of electricity per year with normal, daily usage.

A fantastic solution to the urban dishwasher dilemma, the Kenmore 14439 is also available from Sears in white-on-white.

Pros: Fully featured model in just 18 inches of width
Cons: Offers very basic features



Warranty
1 year
